The thunder were certainly challenged on saturday and they looked a bit shaky at stages as well. But they flexed their muscles and came out on top of a strong performing lions reserves outfit. It was a battle of the midfield for both side that was a cracking contest between the 2 sides. The thunders were challenged all day and eventually got on top of the lions midfield and with their gun full forward kicking 6 goals, the thunder won the game. Ewing had 5 goals up to half time and the lions couldn't do much to stop his rampaging ways and Nathan Clarke moved tom collier to him after half time and it did the trick, Ewing was kept goaless in the thrid and it kept the lions in the game. But it stop the lions drive off half back and it did kill them in the end. The third quarter was an arm wrestle and the thunder got on top of the arm wrestle and went into the last quarter with a 10 point lead. In the last the thunder just truned clamped down and run out 11 point winners. Their midfield is such a classy out fit. Illet was at his best again on saturday and Kenrick Tyrrel was outstanding in the ruck. The lions showed the thunder can be beaten on any given day and late in the season when the heavy legs of a long season with most players having a season the the ntfl during the summer. They might just hit a wall and that's where the other teams in the NEAFL might just pounce on them. But right now they look unbeatable
